Everyone instantly thinks my hair is Fake!

[I Am So Blessed]

Ladies i know im not the only one going throught this! most poeple feel the need to touch my hair to see if its real. epecialy when its straight. i dont see what the big deal is. my hair is only MBL. but when i do a twist out its a little past shoulder lenght. (thats strange)......but anywho, do people really think its that impossible for a blk girl to have long hair? danggg!!

[I Am So Blessed]

you are right this thread needs pics. working on a digital cam

 

[Bulletproof]

I am sorry this is so LOL funny to me because everyone always instantly thinks my hair is REAL even when I insist it is a 10 dollar half wig from the beauty supply store. Maybe cus I tend to walk around with wild hair whether it is my own hair or not.

 

[MrsHdrLe]

Uh OP...we're just hair porn fiends in here...Picture Pleaseics:!
(Imagine using your poor misfortune to get our own selfish hair kicks)

 

[CurlyMoo]

I say don't pay attention to these people. Ignore most of these comments and questions and just keep nurturing your hair. You have to admit that it feels good to be one of the few who actually has REAL MBL hair.

BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT PEOPLE THINK!!!!!!! You aren't growing long hair to be accepted into a secret socieity. You grow your hair for you.

I have had this issue above, but no one ever thinking my real hair was fake.

 

[longhairlover]

people do think it's impossible for us to have hair, people think my hair is fake all the time, I see the stares, if one more interviewer focuses on my roots (even when pulled back) i'm going to confront them about it (at least i'd know why I didn't get the job lol) guess they are looking for a sign that it's a weave or wig.

I don't know where this sterotype came from that we don't
1. have hair
and 2. have nice hair regardless of natural or relaxed.

I just carry the attitude that I will "slap" you if you say anything out of line, so I guess people just resort to staring instead of saying anything.

Wah wah wah.

And they always think the million dollar bill hanging out of my pocket is counterfiet. They also seem to think that my boyfriend who is a Mr. Universe look-alike Doctor is my brother instead of my man.

wah wah wah.



















j/k girlie. Be happy with what you have.

Wear a lot of Pocahontus (sp?) braids (J/K)

 

[longhairlover]

serious, I guess it is like "live with it" and "be happy you have some hair" but people's first thought is never look at that healthy head of hair from the person's scalp.

it's like "I wonder what brand of remy or yaki she used" lmao!

personally i've gotten into alot of hair swinging contests when I was in school (college) and out and about with chicks with weaves lol!!!! don't make no sense.

LOL!!

This thread reminds me of a video I saw the other day. I'm not sure what type of accent this person has, but if you can understand her, I think she's saying the same thing OP?

You must have such long beautiful hair, why don't you post a quick picture and bestow your locks in all of its glory upon us?
